Sustainability at the Department of Energy

• Overall Mission: Ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions– Increase efficiency, reduce manufacturing cost, and increase the

share of energy coming from renewable sources– Increase efficiency, reduce emissions from conventional power

sources– Increase efficiency of lighting, HVAC, appliances, manufacturing

processes, transportation, etc.

DOE working on numerous fronts to help build a clean energy future

• Our contribution to the clean energy future– Reduce energy use– Reduce water use– Increase the use of renewable energy– Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

• Our response as a Department – and as individuals – to global climate change

Sustainability is how we as a Department lead by example

DOE: Operations

• Employs approximately 109,000 people• Operates 47 major sites, which include laboratories,

accelerators, manufacturing and processing plants, test facilities, and office buildings

• Operates over 14,000 vehicles• Spent more than $370 million on facility energy and water

consumption in FY 2014

Department of Energy Sites

3rd largest user of facility energy in the Federal Government, 4th largest in total energy use

In FY 2013, DOE used, occupied and emitted approximately:• 28.9 trillion Btus total energy; 3% of Government total

• 4.9 million MWH electricity; 9% of Government total

• 6.5 billion gallons of potable water; 5% of Government total

• 120 million square feet; 4% of Government total

• 3.1 million MTCO2e Scope 1& 2 GHG; 7% of Government total

Sustainability Roles / Responsibilities

• Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO)– Leads DOE Sustainability efforts– Chairs DOE Senior Sustainability Steering Committee and makes

related policy decisions– Provides guidance to SPO and submits official reports/plans

• Under Secretaries / HQ Elements– Responsible for meeting, funding, and reporting on SSPP goals– Partners with sites and labs to meet goals– Reports to SPO and partners on progress and projections

• Sustainability Performance Office (SPO)– Facilitates coordination of DOE sustainability efforts– Performs data collection, analysis, and reporting– Issues policies and guidance– Leads agency coordination and interagency representation

Principal Driver: E.O. 13693

• Establish new GHG reduction targets for FY25 (FY08 baseline)• Reduce energy use intensity 2.5 percent annually through FY25 (FY15

baseline)• Establish new High Performance Sustainable Buildings (HPSB) target for

FY25• Establish net-zero building target for FY25• Utilize 25 percent clean energy (renewable and alternative) as a

percentage of total electric and thermal use by FY25• Utilize 30 percent renewable energy as a percentage of total electric

energy use by FY25• Reduce fleet-related GHGs 30 percent by the end of FY25 (FY14

baseline)• Reduce water use intensity 36 percent by FY25 (FY07 baseline)• Fulfill existing agency target for performance contracting (DOE: $275

million by December 2016) and establish new annual targets for FY17 and thereafter
